Damaged roads and airports in the Philippines are hampering international effort to help desperate victims six days after one of the most violent storms to ever make landfall, Typhoon Haiyan, slammed into the country.

... and, as our news pointed out, a lot of government people were also killed or displaced, making organization more difficult.

Various aid organizations had cargo planes loaded with relief supplies and were ready to go before this predicted-bad typhoon hit; but infrastructure and communications in the Philippines are now so bad that they've had trouble getting in.

Its nearly a week, and not only the people are suffering, also the animals ... what happens when masses of people are so starving? they will be forced to eat their pets! they will start to eat whatever they can find.

The Government in Manila was woefully unable to handle this situation, (Yes climate change is real folks,but do not tell Imhoffe and friends)
However I had another thought . The Idiots in the USA (AKA TEA PARTY) demand less Government.
We should ask the populaion of Tacloban. "Hows that working out for you ?"More government could have saved lives. ,planning after the event is futile.
Kudos however to the USA for stepping right in with aid.Thank You Washington.

Horrific. Treat each day as a blessing, we never know when one event will totally turn our own lives upside down. We must be more vocal to our Leaders to make National priorities the world over for green energy and phase out these fossil fuels.
